What this Trial Is About
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) findings of the brain and symptom presentation in patients with bladder pain syndrome (BPS). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To explore the distribution characteristics of fMRI imaging and possible target lesions in the patient population. 2. To provide appropriate clues and evidence for etiological exploration and therapeutic targeting of BPS. Participants will undergo fMRI as well as other routine laboratory tests and queries.
